Rodriguez
Tickets

The success story of folk musician Sixto Rodriguez is one of the most fascinating in music history. After releasing a pair of commercially unsuccessful albums in the ‘70s, Rodriguez eventually left the industry without knowing he had become a massive success in South Africa. Two fans’ quest to find the songwriter was documented in the 2012 Academy Award-winning film “Searching for Sugar Man,” which finally launched the forgotten musician to international fame. Songs like “Sugar Man” and “I Wonder” demonstrate the unique songwriting talents of this now-celebrated Detroit native.

Rodriguez Tour 2014 to Land in North America in April

Since the release of the Oscar-nominated documentary “Searching for Sugar Man,” Sixto Rodriguez has been praised around the world, and now, two years after the film’s premiere, the celebrated folk musician will once again head out on the road in 2014 to perform the unearthed gems that have made him famous. Through mid-April, the singer will be touring throughout Europe, but he’ll return to the U.S. on April 27 as one of the headlining acts at the New Orleans Jazz Festival.

On May 6, Rodriguez’s solo dates will kick off at the Tilles Center in Greenvale, N.Y., and he’ll remain on the East Coast for two more shows in Newark, N.J. (May 8) and Boston (May 9). On May 13, the performer has lined up a concert at the Masonic Theater in his hometown of Detroit. Later on the tour, Rodriguez will visit Chicago (May 14), Milwaukee (May 16), Minneapolis (May 17), Portland, Ore. (May 24), San Francisco (May 27), Los Angeles (May 30-31), and San Diego (June 3). The singer also will take the stage at the Sasquatch! Festival in Quincy, Wash., on May 25, alongside acts like Queens of the Stone Age, John Grant, and Cold War Kids.

"Sugar Man" Rodriguez to Tour the U.S. in 2013

The quality of Sixto “Sugar Man” Rodriguez’s folk tunes have withstood the test of time and brought him unexpected, international fame late in his life, and now he’s taking his acoustic guitar around the U.S. as part of his 2013 world tour. The 70-year-old, Detroit native is hosting gigs in Australia before coming to North America in April, where he has a string of shows scheduled through the beginning of May. The U.S. stretch will begin at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on April 7, and after a few gigs in the Northeast, he’ll showcase his skills at the 2013 Coachella Music Festival in Indio, Calif., on April 14 and 21. “Sugar Man” will also play venues like the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. (May 13) and Arie Crown Theater in Chicago, Ill. (May 17), before wrapping up at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Mich. (May 18). Rodriguez will spend the end of May and most of June and July in Europe, but will return stateside on June 22 for a gig in Traverse City, Mich., as well as later in the year at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on Oct. 10.

It’s been said that truly good music is timeless, and the sounds produced by Rodriguez are a shining testament to the notion. With his most recent studio effort, "Coming From Reality," dropping back in 1971, Rodriguez basically disappeared from the map until the 1990s, when his music galvanized South African fans to either confirm or deny rumors of his death. Two South Africans were finally able to locate him, and the documentary of their process, “Searching For Sugar Man,” won this year’s Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and propelled the guitarist to worldwide fame. “Sugar Man” is truly a one-of-a-kind musician, so see him live with a purchase of Rodriguez tickets.
